A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
1 Memorializing Congress to oppose Federal legislation relating to
2 illegal aliens.
3 WHEREAS, The United States Congress is presently debating
4 legislation to extend welfare benefits to over a million illegal
5 aliens; and
6 WHEREAS, The estimated cost to the government of this
7 legislation is 13.8 billion dollars; and
8 WHEREAS, There is also legislation on the floor which would
9 offer permanent or temporary residency status to certain illegal
10 aliens; and
11 WHEREAS, The funds would be better spent to provide relief
12 from the unemployment compensation debt that Pennsylvania and
13 other states owe; and
14 WHEREAS, Many find it outrageous that funds be spent in this
15 fashion, with so many United States citizens and Commonwealth
16 residents unemployed; therefore be it
17 RESOLVED (the Senate concurring), That the General Assembly
1 of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania memorialize the Congress of
2 the United States to oppose these measures; and be it further
3 RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to
4 the presiding officers of each house of Congress and to each
5 member of Congress from Pennsylvania.
